Hogwarts: Don't call me Wandmaker

Chapter 50 What Does Snape Know About Quidditch
What Xi Lun didn't know was that not long after he left, a man came from the other side of the corridor.

Snape walked up to the gargoyle, said the command, and then went up the spiral staircase at the back to the principal's office.

At this time, Dumbledore was looking for something on the bookshelf. When he heard the noise, he looked back.

"Severus, it's rare. What do you want to see me for?"

"I just saw Ollivander," said Snape. "So you've finally decided to expel him, haven't you?"

"I don't understand what you mean." Dumbledore turned around. "In my opinion, this was just a minor incident. Although it violated the school rules, it wouldn't warrant expulsion. Besides, Minerva has already imposed the punishment. She is the head of Gryffindor."

"But what about the troll's spine?" Snape said slowly. "Also, I remember telling you that Ollivander also bought the Red Riding Hood's heart from Knockturn Alley."

"You did," said Dumbledore, "but you are still Head of Slytherin, Severus."

"We are different!"

"It seems to me the same," said Dumbledore, and after a moment's thought he added.

"But it's really inappropriate for a student to go to Knockturn Alley to buy things. Gryffindor will deduct five points. I hope this punishment will teach him a lesson and keep him away from dangerous places."

Snape's face was as cold as if covered with frost.

Five points from Gryffindor? What kind of punishment was that? He'd already deducted more than five points from Harry in one class.

He even doubted that the Gryffindor students would even notice that they had been deducted five points.

"It's up to you." Snape was too lazy to continue talking nonsense. "So, what do you think about the matter I mentioned last time?"

"You're going to referee the next Quidditch match because of Harry?"

"That idiot Potter will probably never realize that Quirrell is the one who wants to kill him." Snape sneered, as if he was talking about a brainless monster.

"The universal breaking spell is generally ineffective. I have to be close enough to Potter to ensure that the broom does not get out of control again."

"You don't have to do that." Dumbledore opened the window and glanced at the Quidditch pitch outside. "I'll go to the next game. Quirrell wouldn't dare play any tricks."

Snape said nothing, just stood there staring at Dumbledore...

"Well, if you insist," Dumbledore gave in and sighed softly.

"I'll tell Madam Hooch that next time she can finally watch the entire match in the stands."

"A wise choice." Snape said, then turned around, his black cloak flying high, and flew out of the headmaster's office like a giant bat.

He even pretended not to hear Dumbledore's words behind him, "I hope you can be fair and just," and slammed the door.

……

"What did you say, Snape is going to be the referee?" When Oliver Wood said the news, the Gryffindor common room instantly exploded.

Now no one paid attention to Xilun anymore, and everyone rushed over.

He smashed the dormitory last night and skipped class this morning, which was Professor Flitwick's Charms class. This series of actions made Siren a celebrity in Gryffindor.

It was no use even though he explained repeatedly that he was not skipping classes.

Fortunately, the team members came back at this time, and things like smashing the dormitory and skipping classes immediately became insignificant in the face of Quidditch.

"You're kidding! When has he ever been a referee for a Quidditch match?"

"This is a conspiracy. He will definitely not make a fair judgment."

"Let's go and protest to Professor McGonagall." "It's no use, the decision was made by the headmaster!"

"So what should we do? Are we going to lose the game like this?"

"There must be another way. At least if we follow the rules, he won't have an excuse to find fault."

Everyone was discussing what to do, but Xilun did not join in the fun. Instead, he took the opportunity to sneak back to the dormitory alone.

This would prevent these people from coming to their senses and saying something scary like asking him to take the lead in overthrowing Minerva McGonagall.

Although he wanted to learn Animagus transformation, he didn't want to turn into an animal in another way.

The discussions in the Gryffindor common room continued until midnight, but on the afternoon of the third day, Saturday, the competition began as usual.

Xilun had nothing to do this time, so he prepared to go watch the game with others.

As he sat down in the audience, Xi Lun suddenly heard Hermione's voice coming from the right.

"Remember, your legs will freeze and you'll die. Don't forget that."

"I know," said Ron impatiently. "Stop nagging."

"Huh?" Xi Lun turned his head.

"For the fairness of the game." Noticing Ciron's puzzled expression, Hermione explained in a low voice: "We discussed it last night. As long as Snape shows any signs of hurting Harry, we will use the Leg-Locking Curse on him."

"Attacking the professor? Do you think Hogwarts won't expel students so easily?" Siren shook his head and said, "I understand your thoughts, but there's no need. Look who that person is."

After saying that, he pointed to the stands where the teacher was.

"Dumbledore!" Ron almost shouted, "Dumbledore is here to watch the game too. That's great! With him here, no one can hurt Harry!"

The two of them felt relieved and took out the wands hidden in their sleeves at the same time.

And the fact was just as Ron thought, there was no problem with Harry's broom until the end of the game.

But it may also be that there was no time to carry out his conspiracy, because from start to finish, the game took less than five minutes, and Xi Lun had even finished his third roasted walnut.

After the cheers that resounded throughout the Quidditch pitch, everyone began to leave.

As they walked to the area between the castle and the Quidditch pitch, Siren kept his eyes fixed in one direction.

"What are you looking at?" Neville asked curiously.

"That!" Xilun pointed to a huge willow tree near the greenhouse. It was much taller than ordinary willow trees, with a gnarled and rough trunk, full of power.

The Whomping Willow is one of the most precious magical plants in the wizarding world.

He felt a little embarrassed before, but now after half a school year, Xilun finally started to set his sights on this old tree.

There's nothing I can do, it's boring.

After completing the two-foot wand, Xi Lun always felt unmotivated when making ordinary wands, as if he had lost his original enthusiasm.

Since there was no class yesterday afternoon, Xi Lun had originally planned to use up the red hat hearts he had bought earlier, but he only made two. After that, he couldn't concentrate, and his failure rate became higher and higher.

In the end, Xi Lun even thought about whether he should do his homework... He actually thought about doing homework while making a magic wand!
this is too scary.

So after feeding all the remaining materials to Tom, Xi Lun decided to find a new target for himself.
